Can paper-backed adhesive be used in printer?
#1
I'm using HeatnBond Lite paper-backed adhesive to trace numerous appliqued flowers.
Since, I have a lot of tracing to do, can the paper-back adhesive go through my printer, if I cut 8 1/2" x 11" sheets?
Thanks for any feedback. It would sure save a lot of time, if it didn't mess up my printer.

iron the heat-n-bond to the back of your fabric and [obviously] leave the paper on.
set a stack of books on top of the prepared sheet(s). it will flatten nicely and should survice a trip through your printer. safer still is to change your printer settings so it expects the thickest paper it can handle.
just don't goof like i sometimes do by forgetting which side goes up. :lol:

Is it a laser printer or an inkjet printer?
If it is an inkjet printer, I certainly see no reason why it would not work. The laser printer might or might not have problems as it heat sets the ink. I know at work we can't use certain transparecies in our copy machine (same technology as laser printer) because they will melt.
